."rzz KISS HIM roR HIS WIFE

This happened to Col. G.. d. Alexander
Third rkansas Regiment, now professor
in Thatcher Institute. Shreveport. La.
The long stemmed battle DER and lost,
The order came, Retreat
INT many hearts lay cold and Still
nd thrilled no moro at the onset bold,
Nor heard returning feet.
Tho living left the lonely dead
TJpon the spot they fell.
And turned with saddened face back
The tale of rOut to tell:
But on the kindly daises there
The dead slept soft and well.
The steady tramp wore the night
Into the sheerless day,
And YEARLY they kept the pace
That led them away-away;
For who could face an iron zoe
That swept their ranks ike nay
Beside the road an officer
Lay wounded like to death
All Pallid, faint and helpless ne me-. -,
And twas his company Plodding by,
AS one to thu other saith
..Be easy, boys, there lies the man
That led us in tho fight:
We love him and we won't pass on
Until we've done him right;
Come softly, shake our Captains mana,
For he'll be dead zero night"
And bows the flower of Arkansas,
From text books to the ranks,
Filed past with misty eyes, upon
Tho Shanandoah's banks,
And gently pressed their Captains hand
And fiercefy damned the Yanks.
A big, gruff, bearded freshman
Brought up the rearmost hle.
Aud knelt beside the suffering man,
And sobbed aud sobbed the while,
And as the farewell band looked on,
Through tears there came smile.
The Sergeant turned him toward the boys
His face with grief full rife
"Begorra. boys 70 while they gazed down
1 on that fast waning life.
"We'll niver see the CAN again
III kiss him for his wife!"
The kiss of that rough soldier there
Thrilled through the Captains SOUL
And started fresh the sluggish lie
From heart fount to its goal:
And one less grave kind nature sods
BY Shenandoall's roll. -RicoTe Lane.

ALL THE WAY FROM ITALY.

Among yesterdays arrivals in the city was
Vittoria Corrara, from Lucca, Italy. In
yesterdays journal, of the proceedings in the
probate court, was the granting of mar
riage license to Luigi Bellonzi and Vittorla
Corrara The lady had then to come all the
way from sunny Italy to find il
sunny Kansas her future husband.
Luigi is man Of about 81 who, by his in
dustry and frugality as well as by some
fortunate investments, has succeeded in lay
ing up some money. With his prosperity
came a desire for q home and whence could
his fancy turn for allowing companion but to
his native land He told his longing to
friends in the old country and in Vittoria
they found for him all that his fancy bad
pictured. So he wrote to her to come to
him and she did A relative accompanied
her to New York, and there she was given
directions to find this city.
She had pleasant journey and arriving
in Wichita, handed to q hack driver card
of the Hotel Gandolfo, employing him to
bring her there.
Here she was joined by Luigi, and the two
with Joe Gandolfo went to the priest to be
welded. But she is a conscientious Catholic,
and that church requires the bans to be read
in public at least twice; SO the ceremony
must be postponed for at least week from
tomorrow

THE FAIRMONT MOTOR LINE.

George c. Strong expects in few days to

visit st. Louis, Minneapolis, Chicago, Phila-
delphia and Pittsburg, and fully investigate
the best kind of motor to use-on the Wichita

ing citizens, and they expect to get a motor
and cars that will be not at all Objectionable
to the residents along the route, and that will
fully comply with the terms of their ordi-
nance. They expect to have cars that will
be pleasant in summer and which can be
heated in winter and be comfortable. The
motor recently received on the Fort Scott
railway by the Valley Center Motor company

pany except to assist in the construction OF
said lines to convey material from point to

money each year to keep said park nicely

A WONDERFUL CHARACTERISTIC.

The spirit of liberality and generosity of
the business men of Wichita is only equaled
by the spirit Of their enterprise, which bids
fair to become a proverb. Whether these
marked characteristics are born Of their ele-
walton to the conviction that here must be
founded great city and at their hands the
world is expecting the accomplished work, or
whether to the superior quality of the great
ajority who come here to find and to be-
come part of higher civilization, we
hardly know. 1t may be due to both of
these. However, it is certain that no people
of whom we ever read or heard or of whom
we have had any knowledge whatever in but
slight degree revealed the generosity and
unselfish spirit of the great majority of our
representative men, business and
professional The newer corners
hardly make our acquaintance be-
fore they have caught the spirit which
governs our people, which spirit embodies
the idea and conviction that the old rule of
''self and only the dollar in sight" was as
narrow as it was Improbable. Of the latter
class we will be excused from mentioning the
names of Mr. Joseph Morse, the Meridian
Connecticut banker, and Mr.. Joseph Rosen-
thai, the San Francisco capitalist. Both of
these men have but recently, comparatively,
become interested in Wichita and in prop
erty here, but both of them have this week
shown spirit of liberality that has not only
brought out the praises of the most liberal of
our own people but which affords shining
example for few who are inclined to be
slow, and a still fewer who are inclined to
that kind of narrowness which would nip
open the goose that lays the golden eggs. 1t
has been said that communities have their
respective hernogenity. If SO, then that of
Wichita's is that of a marked-a wonderful
1iborolity

the retort with the same percentage as when
first started to be distilled. The retort is
charged with twenty-five hundred pounds OF
amonia and will always have that amount as
long as machinery is perfect.
In each freezing tank there are Tint
one coils, and three hundred feet of pipe IN
each coil 1t takes thirty-six hours to
freeze the water, and it is allowed to remain
in the moulds sixty-five hours, which brings
it to temperature of eighteen degrees be-
low zero. At present, the output of ice of
the plant is thirty tons per day. Each
mould holds forty tons of ice.
TIE. brine is drawn from
the freezing tanks by pump to the cold
storage room. There it is forced through a
manifold of piping, making the room yester-
day forty degrees above zero. The cold stor-
age room is fifteen feet wide, thirty-five feet
long and ten feet high. The ice room is
about the same size and reduced in tempera
ture by the same process. The cold storage
room is being used by Steinhauser & Merkle
and the Wichita Produce Market, and i:
giving perfect satisfaction, keeping grocer
les in first-class condition.
When it is desired to lift cake Of ice it il
raised by hand crane and dipped into hot
water bath and allowed to remain there

to be removed easily from the can when il
is upset. The ice is then removed TO cold
storage room where it awaits the market.

made ample arrangements for fire protection.
1t would certainly be voted a cheeky fire
that would tackle the Wichita crystal ice
plant, but evidently the company somehow
have gained the idea that sometimes just
that sort of a fire puts in an appearance or
the provisions for cold water bath reception
would not have been made. In the building
are two hu ndred feet of fire hose distributed
in lots of fifty feet in each place. By
getting water from the supply pump pres
sure of one hundred poundsEcan be secured. A
test was made a few days ago Of thirty-five
pounds which was sufficient to throw water
over the building.
The plant is nicely lighted at night by gas
made from gasoline by Berry Bros. machine
of Detroit.
To say that the company is pleased with
the present outlook with their enter
prise is putting it mildly. They
are almost overjoyed The affair
has been and will be as best they are able to
Judge grand success The ice when made
finds ready market. The neighboring
be sent from the city finds prompt market.
The ice in the cold storage room has but a
short rest and soon finds its way in the ice
box and then into the glass of milk-ot
course.

INCANDEsCENT LIGHT FOR WICHITA

The Archer Electric Light Company last
incandescent lights. They had recently re-
ceived from the manufacturers 100-light
dynamo and applying it to lighting their Of
fee according to the eft Wayne-Jenney"
incandeseent light system were gratified at
the happy result.
The lights which are enclosed in a fine
glass filiament are of great brilliancy and
regularity. They can be turned on and off
at pleasure same as gas, yet they have many
advantages over gas They are cleaner and
do not require any matches for lighting. As
they are enclosed in fliament of glass
which last for from GOO to LOCO hours,
they emit no odor, heat or smoke and will
not blackeu the walls. They are considered
as perfectly SAFE The machine is Of low
tension: the wires can without danger be
touched or handled. The light, swinging as
it does, can be moved from one place to an
other and can be used in a closet where gas
cannot be put The light burning last night
was of 16 candle power, yet by very simple
continuance it can be increased to 80, "a, 100
or even lbs candle power. The
electrician showed that one light can
be e1tinguished along a circuit and in no
way interfere with the others. Mr.. English
president of the company, stated that it was
their intention to supply with this light all
the residences and store rooms OF tina city
desiring ithem. He says that the company.
composed as it is of gentlemen here in the
city, are ready to lay wire and furnish the
lights under this, what is considered the best
of systems at as low a cost and in as thorough
and complete manner as any outside cor
poration can do the work for the city.
